DIVE MASTER COURSE

At Diving Planet we prepare professionals through knowledge, but above all through experience in the field.

This is why our DIVE MASTER courses are only given in the “INTERNAL” mode, in which the student must spend at least 2 months developing the activities of the Dive Master.
In return, Diving Planet does not charge the course as such, but only the costs of the instructor in charge and the materials required by PADI.

DEFINITION

The Divemaster course is the first level of diving leadership, it is perhaps, the most interesting course of all that PADI offers. It is the course where you learn the most, not only at the level of diving theory but also in group management techniques, full knowledge of a diving area, assistance to instructors in training courses for new divers and continuing education courses for divers certified, rescue techniques are perfected, plus many other things.
